I installed Windows 7 Beta last week but finally have decided tonight that I need to uninstall it for various reasons. It's not because I dislike it but I was forced to after running into issues. It first started when I installed a virtual drive and I'm almost certain that it was the cause of the issue. The responsiveness of the Operating System just went down fast and everything was slow from that point on. Since my install was an upgrade (from Vista to Windows 7 Beta), the upgrade itself since it's only in beta might have been a bad idea. I strongly recommend the beta testers to do a dual boot or a fresh install of the OS since upgrading could cause conflict between current installations. And the fact that it's a fresh install means that you're not going to risk your files and PC setup once you have decided to downgrade. If you decided to upgrade, it means that you're stuck with it and a format/re-image may be the only way out. Read More...

Herein, in effort to help people on deciding which provider is the best way to go, I will go through valid points based upon my observation within the last couple of weeks of using the trial periods.

Before even watching the show, I was disappointed on knowing the fact that season 7 was based of celebrities apprentice. The celebrity aspect didn't thrill me as much because I felt that "real", non-celebrities people encourages more practical business approaches. Aside from the fact that Omarosa (loser of first season of apprentice) came back in a "celebrity" status. In reality, her personality does not mesh in a group-type environment. Her aggressiveness and knows-it-all attitude will not get her anywhere based on how she express her opinion in the show. I do however respect her ability to manipulate others verbally in which she does really well in order to defend her case. Read More...
